There's measuring and then there's measuring

This afternion I asked Jonah to help me make carrot muffins. He was all excited to get going. He asked how he could help so I told him he could help by measuring the ingredients. He immediately went into the utility drawer and took out the measuring tape (he calls it "measure tape"). Then he proceeds to line up the carrots and measure them!

When we were all done, we tasted the muffins and he said, "We made these together! That's teamwork!"

Jonah Concert on Eve of Hurricane Irene

Love and Country Music

So, Jonah has a fondness for John Denver that started with his love of the song, "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" (he knows all the words and plays it on his guitar!) We bought a John Denver CD that Jonah has listened to a few times, and he really likes "Country Road" also. The other night before bedtime, I was singing him "Country Road" and I messed up some of the words. He jumped right in and sang all the right lyrics... "Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains growing like the weeds".

Then he said to me, "Honey, I want you to sing to me in the chair". I said, "Did you just call me Honey?" He started to laugh... "Yes!!!"
